The water
Cumberland River (below Wolf Creek) is a tailwater below Wolf Creek Dam in Kentucky, fished for trout, striped bass — brown, rainbow, brook, cutthroat. On dam-controlled water the generation schedule is the whole story: the wade window is the no-generation block, and rising water at the gauge means the pulse is arriving.
